Hi, I need the direct download installer for Photoshop 2023 (v24.x) for Windows. It’s required for compatibility with a CEP extension plugin. Can you provide the installer link?

Question

Hi — I need access to download Photoshop 2023 (version 24.x) for Windows.

I’m using a CEP (legacy) extension plugin called RealPaint FX, which is not compatible with newer Photoshop versions (2024/2025), since Adobe removed support for legacy extensions.

I currently have Photoshop 2025 installed, but the “Extensions (Legacy)” panel is disabled and the plugin cannot load.

Photoshop 2021 (22.x) is too old and not fully compatible with the plugin either.

I specifically need Photoshop 2023 (24.x), which still supports CEP extensions and is required for my workflow.

Could you please provide a direct installer or enable access to that version in my Creative Cloud account?

Thank you.

Have you contacted Real Paint FX to see there is an updated plugin/extension:

Though here on Windows 11 x64 Intel with Photoshop 2026 (ps version 27.5) Legacy Extensions still seem to work.

In Edit>Preferences>Plugins under Legacy Extensions do you have both options checked?
